Jeremiah 34:12-16
Lexham English Bible
12 And the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying,[a] 13 “Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel: ‘I made[b] a covenant with your ancestors[c] on the day of my bringing them out from the land of Egypt, from the house of slaves, saying,[d] 14 “At the end of seven years you must let go each one his fellow countryman, the Hebrew who has been sold to you and who has served you six years, and you must let him go free from you.” But your ancestors[e] did not listen to me, and they did not incline their ears.[f] 15 And you turned back recently[g] and you did right in my eyes, to proclaim release each one to his neighbor, and you made[h] a covenant before me[i] in the house that is called by[j] my name. 16 But you turned back and you profaned my name when you brought back each one his male slave and each one his female slave, whom you had let go free according to their desire, and you subdued them to be to you as male slaves and as female slaves.’

Christian Standard Bible
12 Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah from the Lord: 13 “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: I made a covenant(A) with your ancestors when I brought them out of the land of Egypt, out of the place of slavery, saying, 14 ‘At the end of seven years, each of you must let his fellow Hebrew who sold himself[a] to you go. He may serve you six years, but then you must let him go free from your service.’(B) But your ancestors did not obey me or pay any attention. 15 Today you repented and did what pleased me, each of you proclaiming freedom for his neighbor. You made a covenant before me(C) at the house that bears my name.(D) 16 But you have changed your minds(E) and profaned my name.(F) Each has taken back his male and female slaves who had been set free to go wherever they wanted, and you have again forced them to be your slaves.
